With 4MOTION the Amarok is ready for the challenge

Innovative 4Motion

Stability and traction

The innovative Selectable and Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive systems enable sure-footed progress when you encounter rain, snow, sand, mud or gravel. It’s designed to maintain traction while off-road, as well as offering improved road holding and increased safety in poor surface conditions.

Fully compatible

Selectable or Permanent 4Motion

For added safety, 4MOTION is compatible with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD/EBV), Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) and Off-road ABS. Perfect for getting you to places that other vehicles can’t reach, 4MOTION will transport you on an adventure that doesn’t end just because the road does.

SELECTABLE 4MOTION.

Allows you to switch between high and low gear ranges and rear or all-wheel drive. In all-wheel drive mode, power is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles to ensure the best possible traction.

PERMANENT 4MOTION.

Standard on the 180PS BiTDI 8-speed automatic Highline, all-wheel drive is engaged whether you’re on or off-road. In normal circumstances, the Torsen differential distributes power 40:60 between the front and rear wheels, but when off-road, the system automatically distributes power to the wheels with the most grip. When combined with other systems such as Hill Start and Hill Descent Control, you’ll find the Amarok virtually unstoppable.

Selectable or Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive systems are available as standard on all Amaroks, view the full range.

Permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive systems are also available as an option on selected Transporter models, view the full range.
